Alexis Posley 9/20/2016 4:33 PMAs part of the Community Support Campaign today, I was selling Roses. People asked why we were asking for the tubes of water back. Simply explained to them it was a simple way to be green by recycling them year after year. The tubes don't wind up in the landfill, and it reduces the overall cost of the Roses because we don't have to buy the tubes every year.
Recycle people, recycle.
